Partners are Vital

So, the past year i've been trying to find two developers to partner with on the project: Front end and back end/database. Obviously haven't been successful yet so I was seriously considering trying to finance the development with personal and investor funds. However talking with my AWESOME attorney this morning and reading some Y combinator articles from Paul Graham put the reality check on me: Aint gonna happen. Plus I HIGHLY doubt the whole thing will be successful without a great and outstanding team. I've already found the best front end developer/graphic designer in the world, but i'm not sure yet if he wants to come on board as a partner, I only just put out the offer this afternoon. An absolutely outstanding candidate for the back end developer partner is a BYU student I background researched, however he is already actively involved in another venture. The qualities I am looking for in a partner are: entrepreneurial, energetic, passionate, highly proficient in coding/development, BYU student/alumni, and an outstanding personality. If I can put such a team together I have every confidence this project is going to be EXTRAORDINARILY succesful. On a side note my 'dummies' books arrived today, I'M PUMPED!!! HTML, XHTML & CSS FOR DUMMIES, AND PHP & MYSQL for dummies. I'm gonna be up LATE coding all summer long I can't wait!
